A new hexo deployer for Amazon web services

Legacy content - 2026-04-22
I wrote this post over a decade ago; I no longer use Hexo and I have no idea whether this is even relevant. But I am leaving it for posterity in case it may be useful to someone.
I recently migrated this and my other blog to Hexo which is a very fast static blogging framework built on node.js. As when I used Octopress, this blog is still hosted from an AWS S3 bucket. However the deployers that I tried with Hexo failed because of dependencies that were incompatible with the OS X version I was running. Not being a node.js expert, and having no time to delve into node.js internals, I wrote a new deployer:

hexo-deployer-awstransmit

It relies on Transmit to upload the public directory of a Hexo baked blog to the S3 bucket that hosts the site. You can find it on npm and Github.
